Lagos is peaceful because there is no food for lazy man in Lagos. Nobody have 100 percent claim to it. But the future is bleak cos for the first time there has been an attitude of owners.

Yorubas will always protect their heritage just like it happens in other places too

IGBOSON1:
It's statistics like these that make me give up on Nigeria! Imagine taking from Peter and handing over to Paul....even when Paul despises Peter!

Look at Onitsha, that's the second most populated and cosmopolitan area in Nigeria...the city get's next to nothing by way of federal infrastructure, recognition and assistance! Almost all it's developmental and governance challenges are left to the Anambra state gov't to manage! This is as the evil gov't in Abuja is stealing their hydrocarbons and refusing to recognise them as a oil producing state!

Then there's kano, that has benefited from the ridiculous number of LGAs the northern miliatry oligarchs handed over to them! They also benefit financially from the ojoro census whereby they receive a lot more than Anambra from the federation account! All these are the financial benefits you know and hear of.....over the past decades, the cunning muslim northern rulers of Nigeria have devised many other stealthy ways to greedily corner even more of Nigerias' resources to their region!

Lagos, as we all know, benefited from a lot of federal gov't infrastructure! The present Nigerian political-economy in play has also benefitted them by way of the pre-eminent commercial and industrial status the city holds in 'one Nigeria'! This city, owned and invested in by ALL Nigerians is presently being administratively controlled by just one ethnic group as we speak! When you ask them, they will tell you the capital of the country moved to Abuja since 1991 (i think that was the year) and so you should remove your 'covetous' eye from Lagos because it now belongs to them....and they're even doing you a 'favour' by allowing you to live there!

The second Niger bridge being built will serve Kano abi? Why are you guys so greedy?

Even if everything is given to you guys, you will still complain and murmur. I just tire for Una matter.

The Buhari you guys hate is the one making second Niger bridge possible which will open up onitsha more. omo you guys are heartless

Perfectbeing:
This a clear case of hypocrisy.. All hell was loosed when it concerned the North but they became mute when it concerned them.

That is how they were mute in GEJ administration when the deputy speaker, deputy senate president and SGF were all from the east at the same time. It's their way, only ignorant peeps fall for their blackmail

Bigpat:
Truth is bitter,they are just good at propaganda, good at making trouble, they should ask themselves if they actually deserve all the achievements. If you ask any of them to explain how they are marginalized, they will not give reasonable answer, rather, you will see them stammering. After all, they did not vote Buhari but he did what PDP could not do for them, yet they are not satisfied. The good thing is, the majority knows the truth and that is why the Igbos are greatly divided, though among the majority that knows truth, some are not honest, they kept quiet, sponsoring and observing the trend. Many that matters in Igboland already declared their support for one united Nigeria, so the propaganda, the agitations, the UGM (IPOB, ESN) and Biafra is already a failure. Kanu is in a comfortable place, deceiving the gullible and trending.

You capture it well, they only feel marginalized when they can't marginalize others

GuyfawkesAB:
Misplaced priority. Most airlines across the world are only managing to stay afloat because of the huge cost of running and low profits. A sitting governor whose state has over 50% unemployment and has one of the worst education index in the country is investing heavily in an airline. Most of the youths are either cultists or keke riders. How many British Counties or American States have their own airlines? Even Russia where the distances are large and owning an airline is justified, only a few of the many federating states actually have and operate an airline e.g Yakutia, Ural, Rossiya and Yamal.

Udom is a very big and incompetent fool. All his education is a waste. No impactful or legacy initiative by his government, only cosmetic, white elephant projects - 21 stories towers that is yet to be occupied by the IOCs he claimed he built it for; Ecumenical Centre where Ibomites can be continually scammed by religious Forex Traders and Ibom Air gives him away as a harebrained f**ktard

Let the next governor fix the unemployment issue. The airline will impact tourism in the State leading to more jobs.

Let's stop being emotional and celebrate laudable achievements like this cos it impacts the economy at the end.

pacespot:
Since the green airline came out, other airlines have been going about with strings of investments, is it to challenge the young Yoruba guy that tries to provide affordable air transport service to people?

Competition is good for affordability for all.

mrvitalis:
LMAO our son single handedly owns the largest airfleet in Nigeria ..so chill we don't need our state to do what individuals can do

You're not making sense bruv, your son ought to make one of your cities as a hub for his fleet driving IGR for the state like akwa ibom is doing.

Don't always justify foolishness

e be like say this guy dey see PMB for im dream o,

chisky02:
Leave Ngige alone, that was how he run mouth, and his people withdrew him
from the senate, if not that Buhari compensated him with ministerial appointment, he would have been jobless since 2015.

Ngige would have been senate president or at least deputy if his people returned him to the Senate but they were blinded by hatred and now shouting marginalisation

Perfectbeing:
Wait you mean Buhari is doing a road from Igbo land to Cameroon and nobody complained that he's building road to another country?

Na today you dey sabi these people, they keep quiet on anything favourable to them but shout when it goes to another place.

They behave as if other tribes don't deserve anything at all.

dbonks:
Mr Minister you better get yourself armed with facts, because there is non of those projects mentioned there that were concieved under this govt. There were merely continued because he knew the backslash that would have greeted his abandonement of such projects. Keep praise singing because your were appionted a minister remember there is posterity.

Make una fear God na, what's the fuss about conceiving a project and nothing to show for it after 16 years and billions wasted.

You guys need to admit and give PMB some commendation.

Multiplier7:
You don't call people what you're not sure of. Base on my home training I detest such. I am a proud Igbo man. Son of the soil. Nna a calling me a terrorist is an insult to my personality and I demand an apology from you

O yea

topboss:
NGIGE IS SPEAKING FOR HIMSELF AS A BENEFACTOR OF BUHARI GOVERNMENT.



BUHARI MADE HIM A MINISTER.




HE SHOULD ALLOW THE IGBO PEOPLE TO ALSO SPEAK FOR THEIR COLLECTIVE.




THIS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, ELSE, WE WILL FLOG NGIGE NAKED AT THE MARKET SQUARE.




HE IS NOT BIGGER THAN THE COLLECTIVE.

ngige is only telling you guys not to be too greedy as Nigeria is not only made up of igbos alone. we have over 300 tribes in Nigeria. Imagine all tribes complaining like igbos too. Ngige is only trying to tell you guys to be more sensitive to others as you guys think it's only fulanis that are living in Nigeria

op, you're wasting your time, until Rohr finally disgraced the national team before he will be sacked.

una never see anything

DubaiLandLord:
Is the job of the National Assembly.

National assembly members, that are also handpicked by governors?

TheGoodJoe:

Abuse does not give your point weight.

That is why I said steps.

Holding a discussion forum for instance with the Governors on why they should adhere to the decision.
Carrying out some enforcement processes with the judiciary and legislator etcc.

We need steps, not just words.

The Governors can never agree to the judiciary or local govt autonomy ish, the VP a whole professor of law once appealed to them but still, they went to court on the matter. The Governors have become emperors, only true restructuring with the abolishing of states for regions can cut their wings

oluwaahmed:
The problem with southerners is that they use their heart instead of their head in politics. Reread that poster comment from a neutral perspective and see the sense in what he's saying. Can't you even see that the problem in the con3 is being sponsored by those people that don't want to handover power to the south. Guys wake up. These guys would rather plunge Nigeria into a civil war than handover power to a southerner (especially now that all southerners are crying for restructuring)and that is want they are doing. They are sponsoring crisis everywhere because its the turn of the south to rule. If there was a devilish agreement to give power to yoruba why are they saying it especially as easyerners are 5%? Don't be fooled or cowed by your party members. There will be no southerner on APC presidential ticket especially when PDP is bringing out a popular Northerner like tambuwal, Atiku or kwankwaso. Just watch by 2022 many of them will use the tinubu tactics to decamp to pdp or form a new party just to give back power to Northerner. Watch and see

Northerners do not own Nigeria, a southerner has ruled before and will rule again, PMB is a beneficiary of zoning, folks in PDP turned against GEJ because of that. Nigeria does not belong to some set of people. We southerners need to come off this psychological fear about the north. It's unfounded abeg

But people sat in Lagos to package him as President

Mr President, who created the cattle routes?

This is the issue with the President, he doesn't know how to talk diplomatically. You can't just say you don't know the others. It's not like he and the present COAS were classmates in any way. This is a wrong answer and I stand by this.

The reason why people think he is nepotic

tegafej:
Is he not the one overseeing the Nigerian state?

It's his responsibility to make it work.

If LGA is dead... He should pressure governors to wake it up.

Instead he is talking like an opposition.

another ignoramus . You need to lower your anger at times to think properly

kingthreat:
Almost nothing. The democratic system permeates the governors to be selfish and misbehave. That is one reason I am scared of the State Police. If it happens, it can guarantee a party ruling a state till eternity.

if the local govt and judiciary are autonomous which is what the governors are also refusing, no one can abuse state police.

frankson1:
I'm thinking they are now too many 'awaiting jamb results' folks in this forum.

it also shows how depraved our education system is, most of the things I know about the federal system of govt, I learnt in secondary school in social studies and Government subjects, I just wonder if Government is still taught in secondary schools today with the ignorance you see in nairaland. Somebody awaiting jamb results should still be well informed to some extent. Na Garri school we get these days, so sad.

FLYFIRE:
WHY DID YOU PUT ALL THE BLAME ON PRESIDENT GOODLUCK? HYPOCRITES

Buhari signed an executive order for the local govt to receive their allocations directly. If the governors had agreed, that would have been a major masterstroke. That's one major thing Buhari did that Goodluck didn't have the liver for.

You guys should move pass Goodluck, he could only organise a conference party for too much talk but could not muster enough courage to dare. If PMB had insisted on the Governors, we would all label him a tyrant.

KingAzari:
I agree with him on that but is there nothing he can do about it?

He has tried by signing an executive order for the autonomy of the judiciary and local govt which is in line with the constitution but your governors are having none of it.

Truth be said the Governors are the major problem right now but they are all hiding under the clamour for state police by ignoring the local govt issue

wman:
If Trump were to be an African president, he would be a dictator.

What held him back was the strong institutions in the United States.

it's not strong institutions cos it's the same humans that run those institutions

People stood up to Trump despite many that compromised, period,

Ekez:
Is their any need for that??
After all Fulani herdsmen with there cow will destroy the farm and kill the farmers as well

and you went to school abi?

they will keep away from this thread, awon cowards

chrisvic007:
The federal government has given the order. Take the most pungent action against the government.

Useless, partisan, PDP sponsored SERAP is also part of the problem. At a time Father Mbaka disappeared from public view ostensibly to consult with his bishop in Enugu, useless SERAP took to their twitter handle to accuse the federal government (DSS) of arresting him and you can rightly imagine the response of the enemies of the country - within and without the country.

So SERAP shoup shut the f*ck up. If the desire a regime change they should wait till 2023, if they can mobilize the required number. Bloody hypocrites.

na small children full SERAP I tell you.

we can't have another muslim rule us again by 2023 with the way things are, Yes religion shouldn't have been a matter but since MURIC and their ilk are now making it a matter then the probability of another having another Muslim rule again has been diminished.

The north can never use any style to continue to rule beyond 2023 through another Muslim, Never.

For me I want a southerner no matter what tribe but a non-muslim, chikena

Paradigm Initiative, a digital advocacy organisation, put the cost of suspending Twitter operations in Nigeria at $250,600 per hour.

“Exactly 24 hours ago, the government of Nigeria announced the suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria. Since then, the country has lost N2,177,089,051 ($6,014,390) based on the cost of Shutdown Tool. The loss continues at a rate of N90,712,044 ($250,600) every hour,” it said on Saturday.

The company used the NetBlocks Cost of Shutdown Tool to arrive at the estimate. The tool estimates the economic impact of internet disruptions, mobile data blackouts or app restriction using indicators from the World Bank, International Telecommunication Union, Eurostat, and US Census.

These are all lies, why are we like this in this country. Which kind assumptions be this one nah, on top twitter?

Like the way NNPC will tell us we consume over 90 million litres of fuel daily

Make we dey lie dey go, nonsense and rubbish

executive12:
Which Buhari was properly elected? Please don't be mischievous.

You can say whatever, we have an elected govt in place that their tenure will expire in two years.

Democracy makes you have your say always but not your way always.

Nigerians like you need to understand democracy better.
